Basically i bought an new laptop with vista on it, managed to get it to talk to my wireless modem router, then manaed to get the modem to talk to tinterweb but could not for the life of me get tinterweb on my laptop. Phoned belkin help desk and they told me to go in to manage network settings , in to my connection icon then under 'internet protocol version 4' put my dns address in. which i did and all is well. however evertime i reboot these settings are lost and i have to put them in again. Any ideas where or how i can get them to stay permanently?

cheers

Can they not be set manually as the default settings?

thought thats what i was doing putting the dns server id in the ip version 4 bit? is there somewhere else i can stick em ( say nothing lol), remember i'm a retard at the best of times when it comes to pc's, and vista where everything is hidden all over the place isnt making life ny easier when youre used to xp
